This Year's Model Updates:

The interior gets a minor refresh that includes a revised instrument cluster. XLT models now come with additional standard features, while the high-line XLT Premium gets a new monochrome exterior look. The Adrenalin model now features an even more powerful premium audio system. All models get a flexible fuel feature that allows them to run on ethanol-blended fuel, as well as traditional gasoline. Finally, there is no longer a manual transmission option on XLS models.

Pros:
  • SUV comfort and pickup truck bed convenience, workhorse V6, features galore, available side curtain airbags.

    This truck is perfect for a fast-paced lifestyle. The ability to haul around friends with the capacity to pull a boat or haul lumber. Great buy!

    I think the vechicle is great for the price. I looked around for several different trucks. I compared it to the F 150, Chevy Silverado and the Toyota Tundra and found that the interior style was very similar without having to pay the higher price.

    This is the most useful vehicle weve ever owned. Room for 4 or 5 adults, great visibility, good seating position, versatile mini truck bed, quiet cabin for an SUV, has been trouble free. I replaced the shocks with Bilsteins two years ago.....huge ride difference. Pulled 2 heavy trailer loads of household goods across country. It struggled with the weight, but otherwise handled fine. Nice sound system, good fit and finish. Im averaging 18-19 MPG with mostly highway driving. Ford did a great job on this one!!

    I have only had the truck for a short period of time but it is a vast imporvement form my last car. Even with the short bed it can tackle more thnat you think. I have no regrets with my purchase.

    I love the car/truck it will fit 1 motorcycle with the tailgate down and has a great ride loader or unloaded. Needs more power and better economy so it needs to shead some pounds to get that done it is a heavy truck for its size. Overall I am very pleased with the Sport.

  • Bitter Sweet Experience - 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
    By -

    Enjoyed this vehicle greatly for the first 63,000 miles. Then started having trouble with keeping it balanced. Had tires balanced numerous times, also aligned, purchased new set of OEM tires (old set still had many miles left on them at 65,000 miles), purchased one new rim that might have been bent in a pot hole in Danville, IL. Still the ride is not as good as before the tire rotation that started what I feel is a vibration problem. Dont know what causes this slight vibration, whether its the vehicle or just transmitting road imperfections. Considering trading for a 2007.

  • New Tires - 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac

    I like this truck and would rate it much higher if I didnt have the suspension problems. I have 35,000 miles on my truck and the front tires (second set) are feathering on the inside half. I have been told several different reasons for the problem ... struts, shocks, alignment. This truck has had problems eating up tires since around 13,000 miles. I have never heard of a vehicle going through shocks or struts that quickly. Also idles rough and "floats" during highway driving due to the suspension problems.

    VERY FUN AND COMFORTABLE TO DRIVE. I LOVE THE LEATHER, THE FOUR DOORS AND THE SIZE OF THE BED WITH HARD TONNOUE COVER. IT IS A VERY SHARP LOOKING ADAPTABLE TRUCK.
